Big villas for the shorter school holidays
Discussion
If a selection of families all wanted to holiday together in a good size villa (let's say 5/6 four person families) in the school hols (but not the summer six weeks), where do you think is best to look?
Both from the point of view of finding the aforementioned villa, and also for decent weather at those times of year, February, Easter, October.
Been having a look round, but many sites search engines just don't seem up to the job. Also, I'm not sure where's worth visiting outside of the summer months.
Any suggestions holiday gurus?

Villaplus.co.uk is very good
Early season, you'll struggle to find warmth outside of the Canaries (for anywhere within a reasonable flying time)
Later on in the season and you can look at the Balearics and Balkans (heated pool is a must), Greek islands, Turkey (not sure if go there at the mo), Cyprus, Canaries.
Clearly, there is also Caribbean / Florida / Cancun etc if you want to fly a bit further

Most of the villa rental sites offer the option of choosing the number of rooms so can be filtered.
However, I think the issue has been identified in that good weather is further afield.
I have had great weather in the Canaries in February and October (where I go every year) but went to Spain in May and it was cold and rainy (June is when it warms up).
Your issue is finding a big villa in the Canaries (especially near the coast) and you may be better off going to one of the rental apartment complexes that abound and booking a lot of apartments or chalets on the same complex - they tend to be reasonably small and self-contained.
You can usually get bigger villas in Fuerteventura or Tenerife on the golf complexes but they tend to be a little further from the beach.

Portugal is usually fine for Easter (if it's a late one ) same for October February can be a bit hit and miss
